Synchronous (Onsite) Teacher as Designer: Reflective Practice Through a Lens more

Sat, Apr 29, 13:00-14:20 Asia/Seoul

If a "picture is worth a thousand words," then a well-designed picture is worth a thousand more! Do you want to take more time to reflect on and document your teaching this year? Have you ever tried using photography to do this? Have you ever wished that your photos looked nicer? A basic knowledge of design principles could help with that! In this interactive workshop, groups will participate in a discovery activity to learn about seven key principles of design (pattern, contrast, emphasis, balance, proportion, harmony, and rhythm). We will continue by analyzing example photos that illustrate these principles to check comprehension. Participants will then use their new knowledge to complete a photo scavenger hunt, and in the process, reflect on their learning and teaching practice. At the end of the workshop, there will be time to share photos, discuss challenges and reflect on patterns. Participants will leave this workshop inspired to think like designers, use this modality to reflect on their practice, and maybe even take better photos as a result!
